Fort Worth Ponds and lakes

So I went on the community pons thread and it looks like those are all on the Dallas side of town, So I decided to make one for Fort Worth. Sorry if there is an old thread like this already. Here are some off the top of my head. Please give us a report when you go or if you have been to one of these the last few weeks please share.

Echo Lake
Como Lake
Dutch Brand Park
Pond/Lake by Target
Candleridge/French Lake
Greenbriar Park
Marine Creek
Trinity River ( not lake or pond but it gets fished)
Loughridge Lake (North Fort Worth)

Went out to como lake this morning, Tons of debris due to the rains. Caught 2 in the 11-12in range. Thinking about going to Bailey Lake in burleson later today.

Anybody been to the pond/lake by Target and Costco lately?

Fished it early yesterday morning. Caught one small bass on Texas rig worm. Also caught several sunfish on ultralight. It is getting alot of pressure right now.

What about the tanks around Alliance AP?

How long have you fished that pond, ive always shopped in the area but have never thought to fish there. Im gunna have to try it soon.

I've only been once, but Didn't catch anything. I see people there all the time.

I fished the target pond last week. Got one bass on a wacky rigged senko and saw tons of perch swimming around but didn't have any tackle small enough for em. I'll definitely take the panfish kit back next time I go

Just got back from the Target pond with no luck. Went yesterday and same story. It's been really windy, so not sure if that has part in it.

Nathan, it was nice meeting you yesterday.

Leo where are you fishing on it? Iv had the best luck on the dam behind the hotel or whatever it is. There used to be a ladder or something to climb down onto it. Not sure now?

This is where I have fished

Nice to meet you too buddy! Fishing is a little tougher out there in the wind. Try throwing a lipless crank or one of those small storm swimbaits when its windy. When its calm I like weightless soft plastics out there. Dropshot can be deadly too but that may be a bit above your experience level right now. Keep at it though you'll find em eventually!

Hi was wanting to try and get some panfish with the fiancee this weekend. I don't want to commit to buying a license yet, so I was hoping that I was reading the regulations correctly that we could fish in a state park.

We are thinking Mineral Wells or Joe Pool at the state park. Thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I'll figure it out Nathan, I like youtube and google lol

fished the trinity near downtown. Only caught 1, but at least i didn't get skunked.

Mineral Wells is a great crappie lake and has huge flathead catfish, but it is a real loser for sunfish. I lived over that way for 26 years and fished every corner for sunfish without catching anything over 6 inches long.

Lake Weatherford has good sunfish, but you will need a license.

Joe Pool is a different story. I regularly catch bluegill in the 8 inch range, and sometimes larger. The state park has limited access to the deep water, but if you fish the weed bed edges early in the day you should be fine.

The state park also has a sunfish pond.

Went out to city lake around lunch time. Crazy windy, but I was able to catch 3 small ones.

Seems like CityLake is only really accessible on the west side and tons of nasty moss along the entire bank. I only spent a little bit of time tying to access the east side, but didn't look promising at all. I can see how this place would be some tough fishing.

I think I know how to access the east side, I just haven't tried it yet. I need to go back and fish some more.

Has anyone fished Dutch Brand Park lately??

Last time I was there it was like in June and the pond had a ton of grass. Couldn't throw anything in there without pulling a good chunk of the green stuff.

Went out to city lake earlier, caught a decent 1. Might go to the trinity Saturday morning.
